slacking on here...

well, it's been a week now since i've written on here. although i didn't do the spanish lake mt. bike race last week, i did get some miles in and some running. i even got a little swimming in with my good friend. i've learned that i'm not much of a swimmer. i have absolutely no form or endurance. i did however make it 200m's without stopping, although i must've looked like kid drowning just trying to stay afloat. hey, it was quite an accomplishment for a nonswimmer like myself. the last time i had to do any swimming was in the marine corps and that was with a full backpack and combat boots on. i think i was better at that because that was all about survival. this weekend i think i'll be heading back to the pool to work on my form, it should be pretty easy to make improvements because right now i have absolutely none. this weekend calls for more riding, swimming, and a little running. i know i want to try a few short triathlons for next year, but my goal is to do one half ironman for next year. i don't want to change my focus to triathlons, but i definetly do want to do a few and maybe a couple duathlons just to keep things interesting. more to come....
